Labour Court rejects Sean Considine’s appeal over expenses and delayed increment

The Labour Court rejected Sean Considine’s appeal over unpaid travel expenses and a delayed long-service increment, affirming the Rights Commissioner’s decision. The determination was dated 8 July 2016. Considine, an Executive Engineer with Limerick City & County Council, said travel expenses were unpaid and his increment was withheld for six months. The Court found travel expenses were outside the Payment of Wages Act and the Council could delay the increment under his contract after a review.
